Our History
Although recently established in 2022, the Discovery Garden family child care has roots that are deeply embedded within the child development realm. Discovery Garden is owned and operated by Lisset Gutierrez, a child development specialist of nearly 20 years. Mrs. Lisset has had the privilege of working at some of the most prestigious and respected preschools in both the Westside and South Bay areas. Because of this exposure to such dynamic schools, the Discovery Garden has been able to take key elements from various early childhood philosophies to offer a truly exceptional pedagogy that is designed to develop our children physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally.
Our Philosophy
The vast majority of a child’s development occurs by the age of three, which is one reason we say that children are sponges. At Discovery Garden, our philosophy predicates that learning is more than knowing, it is understanding, and the best way to foster understanding, is to be involved in the learning process. This is why we at the Discovery Garden take a hands-on approach with our curriculum, making the children active participants in their learning, which results in an optimal learning experience that fosters true understanding.
